Pisa  Baptistery

Latest page update: 18 September 2024
​​The world famous Leaning Tower is understandably the main draw of the city of Pisa in Tuscany, but the Pisa Baptistery is one of the places you'll go away talking about with just as much enthusiasm.

​Built between 1152 and 1363 it's situated in the same square (Piazza dei Miracoli) where you'll find the aforementioned tower and along with Pisa Cathedral and the Camposanto Monumentale.
Pisan architect Diotisalvi's creation is the largest baptistery in Italy and combines a mix of architectural styles including Gothic and Romanesque. ​
